The phenomenon of social networks, especially Facebook, in which every man and woman - including Haredim - uploads their photos to the public domain, the largest in the history of mankind, simply does not make sense.
Honestly, I don't understand you.
Not the couples, not the engaged, not the new job seekers, and not even the parents at all.
You upload a picture to Facebook, demonstrating a close relationship. Really? Why would I upload such an intimate picture to Facebook? Who else needs to know about this besides me and her, if she and I are truly happy in our relationship?
You too, dear engaged couples – I don't understand.
You upload the ring/kneeling photo + the immortal caption "She said yes!" (original, without a doubt). It's just not clear why such a sacred moment should be in the public domain?
I say without a trace of sarcasm: I would not want such a pure moment to be public domain.
He is mine and hers and our families. That's it. Period.

Dear parents, I understand you. I understand, but I don't agree.
That is, I understand the desire to show off one's offspring, but I am not willing to accept it. Our children are a treasure, and a treasure is kept in a safe. Why should your family albums be at the top of every billboard?
You started a new job? Congratulations. Well done even. But why, why on earth, does it have to be public domain, like if it's not there it doesn't exist? You don't feel confident enough in yourself and the progress you've made, until you get approval from the guys?
And most of all, I think about the heartache of those who didn't win -
For relationships,
For the fruit of the womb,
For health,
For success,
Why do they have to take this stab?!
And why should it be caused by you, who certainly wouldn't want to cause such heartache?
The thought, the added-value picture, the poem you wrote - even if they are not perfect and stylish, they are yours, they create an exchange of ideas, fertilization. The steak you had for lunch, on the other hand, less so.
Not even your most intimate life, especially when it may hurt others who didn't get to experience those moments of happiness that you were quick to share with the entire universe.
